Should You File a DePuy Hip Implant Lawsuit?
Following the receipt of a DePuy hip implant, many patients have experienced devastating physical and financial challenges. A lawsuit can help you or your loved one regain what you’ve lost due to the defective product, so you can begin the process of healing your body and your life. With that said, if you’re considering filing a lawsuit against DePuy, it’s important to take proactive steps to protect your case. Make sure you speak to a personal injury lawyer in Miami before signing anything, don’t speak to DePuy representatives without your lawyer present, and don’t give away any of your evidence. If you take these steps and your case is ultimately successful, some of the damages you can recover include:
Medical Bills
A revision surgery is complex and dangerous – even more so than your primary hip replacement procedure. In addition, it can be substantially more expensive. In many cases, your damages can cover all of these expenses so you can focus exclusively on your recovery – rather than your mounting medical bills.
Pain and Suffering
It’s very common for patients to continue to struggle with physical challenges and a loss of mobility for the rest of their lives after sustaining injuries from a DePuy hip implant. In these cases, you may be compensated for any pain and suffering you’re expected to experience.
Loss of Consortium
In many cases, injuries that have occurred due to a dangerous DePuy hip implant can deprive the patient’s spouse of companionship. When this occurs, our legal team can recover compensation for these damages as well.
